I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog, mainly card making but I now have four Grand children, three girls and a boy. As I love these kids so much I can't help showing an odd picture of them now and again. I really need to get into Scrapbooking too, loads of pics to use. I do some knitting and crocheting too.

About Me

Hi.
I live
in Spain
with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum.
Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him.
I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have a daughter, Aurora, born March 2015.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. xxxx

Hugs in Green

Good Morning All

Didn't John Next Door do well on C&C on the Toolshed on Sunday? He definately has the knack of explaining things so well, I think he will go far in the crafting TV world. It was lovely meeting up with him last week at his Workshop at Creative Expressions HQ.

Todays card is a Sympathy or a Hugs card. I,m featuring 2 dies on this one, both from Leane Creatief. The outer leaf one is Leane 001 no. 45.7667 and also has a full nesting set for the middle but I used Leane Multi Flower die no. 45.8510 instead of all the nesting shapes. I do like these dies and they emboss really well.

I used Gilding Wax on the leaves in a silver colour, just to make them pop out abit more.

Oh I really like this Wendy… what a fab design! Love the gorgeous dies that you've used…. the green and white look really calming and peaceful… perfect for a sympathy/hugs card! Hope you have a lovely evening!Big hugs, Sue B xx

Hi Wendy seems like forever since I last visited you.. I really must pop by more often. I love your sympathy/hugs card, so very pretty. Thank you for sharing this with us over at Crafting from the Heart. Sue DT x
